(Intro)
Please, could you stop the noise?
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the undead souls
Whose voices crowd in my head
I’m floating high up in the air
No legs or arms or feet or fingers
Sentenced to be a sentient cumulonimbus (That's a cloud)
I'm not tired, I’m just restin' my eyes
And I'd be lyin' if I said the time was the best of my life
Strainin' all my effort to try, just not to pry (Try, pry)
If you'd estimate my pain
I'd wonder what you'd guess it’d be like (Let me know)
So what if my voice is pitch-tired? (Pitch-tirеd?)
I spit fire (I spit fire)
And you’re guaranteed thе fear when you're hit by it (Hit by it)
Get ’hind (Get 'hind)
And come down like a zip-wire (Zip-wire)
Hit, turnin' 'round to a spin dryer (Spin dryer)
And you get how i feel up livin’ in a perpetual condition of disquire (disquire)
How to remember how I got here?
Where I came from and what year?
My brain is in a fog and it's not clear
Maybe I should just stop here
But I know I won't 'cause I'm 'a-drifting
Never catch a break, I should just stay up in top gear
Even after the day I passed away
I'm still trapped in the space up here
Please, could you stop the noise? (Noise?)
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the undead souls whose voices crowd in my head
(Chorus)
I'm a drifter, I don't wanna be here
If I die now I'll be the only one to shed a tear
How many lost souls live in fear
The specific quantity is unclear
So I'm sorry if you were expecting a twist
Nah, I'm just trying to forget I exist
Nah, you got me ghast up
You got me ghast up
(Verse 1)
No one looks up to me (No)
Except to literally (Oh)
And I never used to be like this originally
I was once a living being, living the dream
Until it seemed I'd been stripped of dignity and everything
Started burning up around me
Surrounded, first to doubt me
I'm bursting to just ask if somebody else can help me
But my mouth keeps coming up with something else
I'm too hot, tempered (Whoosh)
I tried to speak my pain but the flames kept it censored (Whoosh)
I remember running through the fields of Heaven (Yeah)
Now I'm here in the Nether (Now)
If I close my eyes for long enough I might feel better
But it feels like I've been here forever
Halfway between the sea and the desert (Whoosh)
Still, however hard we fall, we need to at least appear together
Will it be accepted?
Guess not (Guess not)
I'm a ghast in a house of Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop)
Leavin' the piglings that're treating me ignorant
At least I can sleep to not get pissed off (Pissed off)
Please could you stop the noise?
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the undead souls whose voices crowd in my head
(Chorus)
I'm a drifter, I don't wanna be here (Hey)
If I die now I'll be the only one to shed a tear
How many lost souls live in fear
The specific quantity is unclear
So I'm sorry if you were expecting a twist
Nah, I'm just trying to forget I exist
Nah, you got me ghast up
You got me ghast up
(Verse 2)
Please, could you stop the noise?
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the undead souls whose voices crowd in my head (Crowd in my head)
They called me a balloon
Said, "Why don't you perform under the tune?"
I said, "Why don't you **** the **** off if that's all you're gonna do?" (Whoo!)
See, normally I'm too avoided to be rude
But with all the noises cutting through
So I felt I didn't have a choice but to cut it loose
Float like a butterfly (sting like a bee)
Opening up my life (intimately)
Don't bottle up your anxiety, misery
Don't let it fill you up
Don't be like me
Don't let it slow you up
Don't let it blow you up
Don't [blame?] yourself if you become your [opiate?]
I felt like everyone else was below me
But that was baloney
I'm only this lonely
'Cause I've been closin' my eyes
No hope of ever seeing skies
I was so tired of trying to try
I would have been pleased to die
(Chorus)
I'm a drifter, I don't wanna be here (Hey)
If I die now I'll be the only one to shed a tear
How many lost souls live in fear
The specific quantity is unclear
So I'm sorry if you were expecting a twist
Nah, I'm just trying to forget I exist
Nah, you got me ghast up
You got me ghast up
